Alcaraz opens up on his post-match routine
"Depends on the match. Depends on the day. There are some days after the match that I come straight to the press conference, then I do everything else after all. Today was a little bit different. I was tired, so I wanted to cool down a little bit, take the shower, eat something, then probably the press conference the last thing before going back to the hotel and get treatment. This match that we call just to get everything ready to recover as good as you can, as fast as you can for the next round," the 22-year-old shared.
In his final group-stage match, Alcaraz will take on Lorenzo Musetti, who defeated de Minaur on Tuesday. So far, the world No. 1 has been dominant in matchups against Musetti, beating the Italian six times in their previous seven meetings.
